Mom, Are you there?

Mom! I shouted at her not shouting back,
I called mom but she hasn't answered,
As my premonition squeezed my chest and my head felt like it was getting whacked,
The second I wake up, the second I let go, I won't see her face anymore, can't face her.

I planned to sleep for at least 12 Hours,
So I'll be with her for at least half a day,
And when I wake up, I'll buy her flowers,
Go to her tombstone, kneel down and pray.

Ok that second stanza slaps

First stanza needs work imo. For example I felt the first line took too long to confidently decipher. Ex, are you “shouting at her, she was not shouting back”, “at ‘her not shouting back’” or “at her (I was not shouting back)”

Punctuation could clarify that a bit.
I am also a bit skeptical of some of the line end commas in that stanza

#

While the second stanza is great, I do think it doesn’t quite stand alone- and I do think the first stanza is doing a lot for it

Thanks man! ❤️

This poem is so successful in painting that sad, emotional picture. Especially
"I planned to sleep for at least 12 Hours,
So I'll be with her for at least half a day,"
That's gotta hurt
